Donald Driver

With Driver having a quad injury, 2 offseason surgeries, and no catches the past two weeks are we looking towards the end of drivers career? I know he signed an extension, but at this point I wonder if its counter productive to have him on the field instead of one of our younger WRs? We know Rodgers needs all the time he can with these young WRs to develop a connection.

oooooooo I just read this.. DD IS what Packers mean to me!!! He's always been such a great player,... I know every great player must bow out at some point... (ahem*)...but I really don't think its Donald's time yet!!!! Nooo not yet!

I don't know, I mean, he's such a comfort to have out there on the field. He can consistently catch the ball, maybe his age just means being injured more often. Without the injuries, he's looked the same as he always has.

Sounds like that quad has been nagging him for, what, about 3 weeks now? I think it started in the Miami game this year. I definately don't think that this is the beginning of the end of DD. But I do think that it is the beginning of the end of DD running those dangerous short slants across the middle. He is in such awesome physical shape, I don't think that a quad problem i going to keep him in active for long, certainly not career threatening.

I also like the two weeks of rest theory.

Cowboys secondary is b.a.d. It might be nice to see GJ have a monster day. With Finely and DD gone, and obviously a non-threatening rushing attack, lets see our offense really center around one of the best receivers in the league-GJ85.

Don't be to hasty guys. He has had a quad injury. It most likely wont be a season ending injury. It's like a pulled hamstring except it's with the quad. What's this I hear about DD not having enough in the tank and not making the roster next year. He was doing fine before the quad injury. If u take away the last 2 games he had 307 yards in 5 games. Not flashy numbers but it's still productivity considering we like to spread the ball around. Put it this way you will see DD in a packer uniform at least 2 years from now. You can take that to the bank.

We all know Driver will drop off ... hopefully he's got a little left in the tank though.

The unsettling thing for me is the guys behind him (especially Jones) do not look like they will be able to pick up the slack. Jordy had a nice game today, but Jones has regressed. Poor game against Miami and a poor game today. He needs to make the catch on the long ball and also made a bad read when he cut off his route.

After all the preseason hype, Jones looks pedestrian at best. He lacks top end speed, is a bit fumble prone, and now is dropping passes he should catch. I wonder how confident Rodgers is in his play right now.

You must have missed Jones big game against Minn. It was a pretty good game.

I dont know why everyone is so quick to say someone is done so fast. Before DD got hurt he was on track for 1000yds or really close. Let him heal up and he will be back.

He would have been on pace for 800 yards.

No one is saying he is "done" but more of is it heading towards that. And why? Well the multiple injuries and the absence from games lately. 2 ankle surgeries in the offseason is pretty serious for a wr, especially a 35 year old one that has made a career running across the middle. I would love as much as anyone to get another 5 years out of him but I am wondering if that is in the teams best interest with young WRs waiting in the wings?

NOOO! this is so crazy, im laying in bed thinkin about todays game and i start thinking "dang we have such a good team, i wonder how much longer DD is gonna play..." So I come here to make a post and BAM! theres one riiiight here lol. We all love DD one of GB all time best receivers, a good guy. I think that he has maybe a couple seasons in em'. He comes up with big plays and is probably teaching the young recievers ALOT. I dont know about yall but i think come playoffs hes going to be valuable. Although he is going to eventually leave us, I think he has some more work to do before he goes. *SB cough cough SB*

More like 900. Im just sayin hes gonna be come back after the bye full speed. I dont see no slow down in him yet. I was actually thinking he looks great before the quad pull. He put some super sick moves on dbs this year there is one against miami that sticks out.
